-# FastAPI Application
+# Cart and Checkout System
 
-This is a FastAPI application bootstrapped by BackendIM, the AI-powered backend generation platform.
+A FastAPI-based REST API for managing shopping carts and processing checkouts.
+
+## Features
+
+- Create and manage shopping carts
+- Add, update, and remove items from carts
+- Checkout functionality with payment processing simulation
+- SQLite database with SQLAlchemy ORM
+- Alembic database migrations
+- Automatic API documentation with FastAPI
+- CORS support for cross-origin requests
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+2. Run database migrations:
+```bash
+alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+3. Start the application:
+```bash
+uvicorn main:app --reload
+```
+
+The application will be available at `http://localhost:8000`.
+
+## API Documentation
+
+Once the application is running, you can access:
+- Interactive API documentation: `http://localhost:8000/docs`
+- Alternative documentation: `http://localhost:8000/redoc`
+- OpenAPI JSON schema: `http://localhost:8000/openapi.json`
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Cart Management
+
+- `POST /api/v1/carts/` - Create a new cart
+- `GET /api/v1/carts/{cart_id}` - Get cart by ID
+- `GET /api/v1/carts/user/{user_id}` - Get all carts for a user
+- `DELETE /api/v1/carts/{cart_id}` - Clear all items from a cart
+
+### Cart Items
+
+- `POST /api/v1/carts/{cart_id}/items/` - Add item to cart
+- `PUT /api/v1/carts/{cart_id}/items/{item_id}` - Update item quantity
+- `DELETE /api/v1/carts/{cart_id}/items/{item_id}` - Remove item from cart
+
+### Checkout
+
+- `POST /api/v1/checkout/` - Process checkout
+
+### System
+
+- `GET /` - Service information
+- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### Create a Cart
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/carts/" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"user_id": "user123"}'
+```
+
+### Add Item to Cart
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/carts/1/items/" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+       "product_id": "prod123",
+       "product_name": "Example Product",
+       "price": 29.99,
+       "quantity": 2
+     }'
+```
+
+### Checkout
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/checkout/" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+       "cart_id": 1,
+       "payment_method": "credit_card",
+       "billing_address": {
+         "street": "123 Main St",
+         "city": "Anytown",
+         "state": "ST",
+         "zip": "12345"
+       }
+     }'
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### Carts Table
+- `id` - Primary key
+- `user_id` - User identifier
+- `status` - Cart status (active, checked_out, abandoned)
+- `created_at` - Creation timestamp
+- `updated_at` - Last update timestamp
+
+### Cart Items Table
+- `id` - Primary key
+- `cart_id` - Foreign key to carts table
+- `product_id` - Product identifier
+- `product_name` - Product name
+- `price` - Item price
+- `quantity` - Item quantity
+
+## Development
+
+### Database Migrations
+
+To create a new migration:
+```bash
+alembic revision -m "Description of changes"
+```
+
+To apply migrations:
+```bash
+alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+To rollback migrations:
+```bash
+alembic downgrade -1
+```
+
+### Code Linting
+
+The project uses Ruff for code formatting and linting:
+```bash
+ruff check .
+ruff format .
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **FastAPI** - Modern Python web framework
+- **SQLAlchemy** - SQL toolkit and ORM
+- **SQLite** - Lightweight database
+- **Alembic** - Database migration tool
+- **Pydantic** - Data validation and serialization
